Reviews From Guests

Good clean studio, simple and artsy. The guys are quite responsive and helpful, and the price is right. I definitely agree with past guests... if you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. The street noise can be a bit much, especially on the weekends when it sounds like people are drag racing on the way to and from the bars & clubs. Still, you get a pretty cool view of the city, including 101!
A fantastic location, right in the heart of the city. If you're a shopper, Breeze Center, Sogo and the all of the shops around Zhongxiao Fuxing are just around the corner. And if you want to explore the city a bit more, the brown and blue lines of the MRT are a short walk away.

I have stayed in some of the hosts other places and cannot complain anything about him as a person, and I will probably stay in other locations with him again. However, this studio did not live up to our expectations at all. The cleanliness was below standards and the paint on furniture, walls could use some refreshment, but the worst part for us was the noise coming from the street. After 1 night staying there, we decided to leave and check in into a hotel. I also smashed my head on the low hanging lights for probably ten times. However, the location in the city is great and you have convenient access to MRT and shops.

Super convenient location and super responsive / considerate host. That responsiveness is always the most important thing for me in a host. For example, I landed late but there still was someone there to let me in and when I didn't know the WiFI password I emailed Stanley and got a response in minutes.
Also highly recommend asking for him to arrange a ride back to the airport with Ace. Great driver and even better person.
Lastly, in response to the other reviews about the noise, there is street noise but it mostly dies down at night. Didn't bother me a bit. Kinda expect that in a city. Would stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay with Studio X. The place was conveniently located just a block from the MRT as well as all the nightlife, restaurants and shopping in the Daan district. The building and apartment, while basic, were clean and very secure. Additionally, the hosts were nice, helpful and responsive. I definitely would stay there again.

I stayed in this apartment for a week from end dec 2013- early jan 2014.
The location is hard to beat: it is situated right across from Breeze Centre, along Fuxing South Road, and less than 5 mins walk from the nearest MRT.
However, if you choose this studio be prepared that it is:
-NOT HEATED in winter (there's an air conditioner for summertime)
-Ventilation is sub par (windows cannot be opened)
-Noisy at night (from the traffic along the main road)
-Not the cleanest/ newest (dusty cupboards, floors, old linen etc)
-Light fixtures are annoyingly low
-Large graffiti art posters can be creepy at night

Great and safe place, stylish design and superb location (5-8min walk to train station, direct bus to 九分， and there are several buses fr/ to the airport). Central to shopping districts and many eateries. Strong wifi connection.
Studio might need some quick fix, can be noisy (but got used to it after the 2nd night). Bring or buy your own tower from the shops nearby.
Overall - Extremely convenient and good value for $. Love it!

Clean, comfortable and quirky little place in the heart of Taipei. Very kind and helpful guard downstairs, top location. Please note: Top location in this case also means that the studio is very LOUD (and we are both Airbnb hosts in Shanghai which is not necessarily a quiet city!). Had trouble sleeping the first night but got used to it afterwards. As the previous guests had taken the key with them, I was not able to check-in at 3pm and had to wait for two hours. Host apologized several times and it was fine, nevertheless, I would suggest to always have a back-up solution for cases like this. Communication could also be improved: I asked the host three days in advance what the name of the airport bus stop in front of the house was. The answer was "there is a HSBC by the bus stop" which was not helpful. Upon asking again, I received an email at 11pm the day before arrival with the name of the bus stop when I had to leave for the airport at 6am the next morning.
All in all, a cool studio in a great location with potential.

This is a truly great place to stay on your visit to Taipei. Not only is the decor really unique and cool, the customer service you will receive is of a really high level. Studio X are very trustworthy and are committed to ensuring you have an enjoyable stay. You definitely won't be disappointed if you stay here!

I've known the owners of Studio X for over ten years. Studio X caters for the design arty type of folk. If you'd like to stay in a hip well located bnb then then this is the place for you. Attention to detail, great customer service and an awesome time. What more do you want. Book now, enjoy you stay, you won't regret it.
